Aha it's hilariously pathetic. Sure he had an off game when he came on against Liverpool and was partly responsible for the goal (though why no one actually tried to closed down Moreno for me is the much bigger concern on that goal) but people are once again over reacting to one performance. I mean FFS people were hailing him as really good again after his cameo against West Ham, it's ridiculous and if there's one thing on this forum I can count on it's people going into meltdown after a loss.

Yeah. Ole gibbsy.

Mr kneejerk.
 
Hope he comes good as I always root a little harder for the academy lads. Unfortunately, as well as his season last year started this year has been the exact opposite. Damn shame as it certainly stands to reason that a more offensive coach like Pochettino would have capitalized much more effectively on the confidence he had last year than AVB.

Long climb back to first team level for him now. Hopefully he can take his chances in the Europa League.

Yeah, I'm thinking that too, he's got tough competition but if he can make use of the Europa League and any cameos he gets off the bench he'll be given his chance. I just hope he's given some slack by the fans, for some reason they are the first onto our academy lads back.

It's not like we're stacked at the wing. I think when it's all said and done Townsend, Chadli, and Lennon are all going to get a chance to grab that spot. While Chadli had the great QPR performance I thought he looked pretty poor against Liverpool. That third attacking midfield spot might end up being the most non injury related rotated spot IMO. Could even be Eriksen going out wide and Kane or Paulinho coming into the middle. That's the most open spot on the pitch for me, some one will have to lift their game.

Yep. Honestly, Chadli seems to fit the shadow striker position the best but I can imagine both Townsend and even Lennon on that position.
If Poch can infuse him some confidence so he stops trying to obsessively prove himself he still has the chance to gather a place in the starting XI.
 
I'm a Kane advocate and think Ade is probably the most underrated creative player we have. My first team would be:

--------------Kane------------
--eriksen--ade--Lamela--

IMO Ade should be the glue that links all of our attacks.

This isn't a knee jerk. I said this before the season started.

A backup can be either Kane or Ade up front and Dembele, Mason, bentaleb, Chadli and Paulinho can all play the 3 AMs.

Capoue, Vlad and beast should be our DMs. (Plus the new signings can play there too).

I'm convinced our crappy wingers/backs are to blame for ALL of our issues. Attack and defense. With these players out of the club, our players will flourish.

Townsend going an entire prem season without an assist backs up my opinion. (Again, not a knee jerk, I claimed it before last season).

Right ....so you complain that we have too many "AM's" but rather than play one of them in the actual no. 10 position you want to put our best no. 9 in there instead?!

And put one of our centre halves in defensive midfield instead of one of the three specialists that we already have......

And Paulinho is not a no.10 in any sense of the word. Box to box midfielder.

Dont know your arse from your elbow fella.

Ade had 11 prem assists in his first season with us. He already has a prem assist this season. He's underrated by most when it comes to being a creative forward.

And I didn't say Paulinho was a number 10. Specifically said he could be an AM that can do a job for us better than Lennon, Townsend etc when it comes to goals.

I didn't say play Vlad ahead of our specialists. Vlad has played as a dm in the past. His national manager said he could use him as a dm days ago. Plus him supplying a through ball for an assist recently when he was in the midfield kinda proves I'm on the right track for using him as a backup dm if we need it. He can play good football.

So you're saying play Paulinho out wide?

This is getting even better!!!
